Writing

Where the boundary lives

Who may write, what they may write, and the place I put the boundary that an agent walks straight past.

Your codebase is the prompt

Coding agents do the unglamorous groundwork when building from scratch — and skip it in code where someone else already did.

An agent that can answer anything can be trusted about nothing

Bounding a corpus, not widening it, is what makes an agent testable — and the difference between context that is retrieved and context that is injected is the whole of it.

Build your competitor as an agent — then find out what you told them

Ground an agent only on what an outside analyst could actually assemble about you, then point the same collection at your own company.
